I have a file hiding system I use to keep people

Up until just recently it worked fine (have a

Suddenly it has been throwing up the little "Enter
Password" window unprompted at odd times.
I have to click cancel or the "X" to get it to go
away. Most annoying.
Happens when SeaMonkey is running......
Could this be due to something in my SM
preferences that somehow got changed ?

This was a bug that was closed, possibly in SeaMonkey/2.16 or
thereabouts. It was definitely fixed before SeaMonkey/2.22.1. You
are
using SeaMonkey/2.12.1, in which it was definitely not yet fixed.
...it's still broke and was never fixed in the Mac version as far as
the
Master Password prompt goes. I still see random Master Password
prompts
every session. I get the impression that my Pref setting is simply
being ignored or something like that.
According to your user agent, you're using SM 2.13.2. If so, that's not
quite fresh. That said, I guess I've been lucky; I've never seen a
random password prompt. Once during start-up and that's that.
I use 2.13.2 on the machines I use most in order to avoid the short
drawn dialogs bug, but I use 2.22.1 on my laptop and I get random
prompts for Master Password there as well.
It's been and remained broken in every release since about 1.1.16 on my
installs and I did submit a bug on it, but no fix...as usual. This is
another one I'm pretty sure is a Mac only problem, but since I was wrong
about that with the short-drawn dialogs I won't swear to it.
I see. Well, thanks for the clarification. Let's hope that I keep on
missing this bug. Being interrupted for password prompts would be a
total pain.
Yes, it is...and it's made even more annoying when the prompt is
presented on a short drawn dialog. So this is why (one of a number of
reasons why) I have halted at 2.13.2 on my most used machines - there
are enough compounding bugs in the later releases that they impact user
experience for me, and I'll stay here until there are actually some fixes.
I find myself in this situation with a growing number of applications
and OS releases - it's not an issue just limited to SM.
The loss of Growl support was definitely a big one for me. I'm not
enjoying XUL notifications overwriting my Growl notifications at all.
